Description
This cross-appeal requires us to clarify the proper method for assessing costs and attorneys fees in a wrongful death action. The trial court essentially imposed liability for costs and fees only against the various decedents estates in this consolidated case, despite the fact that the decedents personal representatives brought their wrongful death actions not on behalf of the estates, but on behalf of statutory beneficiaries. We conclude that the trial court erred. We thus vacate the trial courts judgment and remand the case for redetermination of costs and attorneys fees liability.
